Kitchen Features We are Still In Love With

My Custom Builder Hellyar’s Gorgeous Townhouse- Kitchen by Active Kitchens

As we wait for The Block’s Kitchen reveals…what are we still obsessed with at the moment in kitchen designs.. in a brand new home?

Here are a few items…clients are still asking or dreaming about:

Big Island Benches Oversized islands are getting even more love as social hubs. Alot of people are opting out of having a sink in the island bench, in favour of having the wide open bench….the entertainment zone!!

Warm, Earthy Colour Palettes Goodbye sterile white—hello mocha mousse (chocolate browns) bronze and beiges, paired with warm timber hues. …a bit of an 80s revival coming back!!

Furniture-Style Cabinetry Shaker Style Cabinets. ... Cupboards doors with a profile are still being asked for

Striking Stone Splashbacks Full-height slabs of veiny marble are still making waves. They’re durable, dramatic, and drop-dead gorgeous..white with a grey vein is still my favourite , but clients are asking for creamy golds to make their kitchen stand out.

Integrated Appliances Seamless design is still in….hello stylish coffee machine. Hidden fridges and dishwashers are still loved.

Statement Ovens & Appliances High-end ovens with matte finishes, brass accents, and smart tech are still hot. Free standing ovens in greens, blues or gold are popular… With Cooking being instagram worthy (well not for me!!) the appliances are part of this aesthetic. Bold rangehoods like the one pictured are becoming the hero of the kitchen!

Whether you’re dreaming, designing, or diving into a new build, these timeless favourites are worth keeping on your wishlist.
